  1) if you get paid hosting (NOT just a domain) AND install Jetpack, staff here can move your followers over.

  2) start again from scratch as far as SEO goes. Contents you can export yourself.

  See here for moving a blog > http://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/
  See here for the JetPack plugin.
  After you install and activate JetPack WordPress.com Staff can transfer only your email subscribers for you. Followers using the WordPress.com Reader cannot be transferred.
